Karnes ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× Educator Programs
Online Educator Development Program
Let the Karnes ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× help you build your skills to meet the needs of your gifted, high-ability, 2E, and neurodiverse learners.
- The Karnes ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ×'s Educator Development Program (EDP) enhances the ability of educators to meet the needs of gifted, high-ability, twice-exceptional (2E), and other neurodiverse learners.
- Classes are being developed at beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels for teachers who have already added their gifted endorsement to a valid educator license.
- A special section of classes will meet the needs of educators who are serving gifted students in the general classroom and for those who are interested in pursuing gifted education licensure, but do not yet have a gifted endorsement.
- Self-paced foundations courses, interactive seminars, and leadership workshops make up each level of the EDP.
Karnes ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× Ambassadors
Influence your world with the Karnes Ambassadors Program.
- Karnes ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× Ambassadors are educators who have completed a recommended path through the EDP and who want to broaden their influence in the community.
- Ambassador candidates must complete the EDP with 85% mastery or higher and interview for an open position on the Ambassador team.
- Ambassadors take two specialized classes beyond the EDP that prepare them as action research partners with the Karnes ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ×.
- In addition, Ambassadors will be considered first for any openings in the Karnes ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ×'s summer program staff, will have the opportunity to co-present with Karnes ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× staff at conferences, and may be selected as curriculum writers for Karnes ÈËÆÞÂÒÂ× PK-12 Programs.
